    Barcelona Red is by far the coolest (or hottest?) color!

    Our other hybrid, a Lexus RX400h, is Matador Red!

    I like the Salsa Red a little better, but I'm just not wild about this car in red. It's all good though!

    Color preferences are pretty subjective, cleaning notwithstanding.
    I don't see very many Priuses in Red...so you have the exclusivity thing going for you as well! :)

    I think our Red force is ready to bury the blizzard brigade and enslave the silver squad.

    At Toyota Owners, all the Prius 2010 video "how-to" demos show a Barcelona Red; nice!

    The great thing about red is you can easily find your car in a parking lot full of gray and black cars.

    No pic, so you'll have to take my word for it. I wasn't shopping for Barcelona Red, but I'm now glad I ended up with it.

    Looks nice! Larger rims would look better but function over fashion is sometimes the best way to go. :)

    Thanks!

    No, just 15-inchers. And not just function, but also a little price difference, going up to 16-inch wheels and tires. And, by the way, no TPMS :smash: in the after-market set!

    Looks nice still.

    w/o TPMS, is there always a warning light?

    Basically yes. It comes on after 15 minutes, because when I park in my garage, the car picks up the OEM rims' TPMS signal; I store these about three feet from the Prius.

    If you're handy with tools, you can make a pressurized PVC flask to mount the OEM TPMS's into. There might be a more elegant fix out there...but I'm not sure what that would be. The PVC 'pipe-bomb' route has the advantage of being cheap and easy to do.

    The search feature...even in advanced mode, is pretty twitchy on this site, but there are numerous posts for this topic.

    Good Luck!

    Not my car. I took these pics from another site (hope they don't mind).

    If you've ever wondered what a Five Axis Aero Kit looks like in Barcelona Red:
